Fitzpatrick

Meaning of Fitzpatrick

Fitzpatrick carries the warm echo of Ireland’s emerald hills and the spirited rhythm of a Latin fiesta, pronounced fits-PAT-rik as if it’s humming a tune off your lips. Born from the Gaelic Mac Giolla Phádraig—“son of the devotee of St. Patrick”—it weaves a narrative of devotion, heritage and a hint of noble mischief. Picture a family gathered around a weathered wooden chest, uncovering an ancient crest that whispers tales of patron saints and sunlit plazas; that’s the kind of story this name invites. Though still delightfully uncommon in the United States—hovering around eleven newborns and ranking near the mid-900s each year—Fitzpatrick feels both timeless and fresh, like an heirloom passed down with a wink. It’s a name that dances across the tongue in lively beats, promising strength wrapped in charm and a legacy ready to be written anew.
